Upgrade your Dewalt DW735 13" planer with a brand new Sheartak spiral cutterhead to revolutionize your planing experience.
- With our 40 carbide insert cutterhead, you can expect a better quality finish with no tear-out, our inserts are perfectly angled along the spirals to cut the wood cleanly no matter how tough it is.
- Cut down on the volume of your DW735 by a considerable amount, as the blades effortlessly remove material.
- All of our cutters are made of solid tungsten carbide and are 10x stronger than steel blades. Each blade can be rotated and has 4 cutting edges, allowing them to be reused without sharpening 4 times.
- Shorter and thinner sawdust makes dust extraction significantly easier and doesn't clog up dust collection systems.
- Spiral cutterheads last upwards of 5+ years and don't require sharpening or repurchasing of blades if you accidentally hit a staple or screw with the blade. Just turn the blade 90° for a brand new edge.
This spiral cutterhead is designed and manufactured to have the same cutting circle as the original OEM cutterhead. The cutter block has to be installed through the bore for the bearing in the machine housing, all the knives are removed from the cutterhead after the dynamic balance. This saves the hassle to do the removal yourself.
Sheartak spiral cutterheads are made to industrial standards and go through high-quality control and testing. All the knives are made within ±0.0004"/0.01mm to ensure interchangeability. The carbide knives can be securely set in the same cutting circle.;
You can cut up to 1/8" per pass maximum. A disadvantage is that you will have to spend half an hour or so installing all the carbide inserts to the cutter block.;
Read through the manual and watch the short video before you install the carbide inserts. Installation of the carbide inserts is easy.

Do I need to replace the original bearings?
If the bearings in your machine are in good condition, they can be reused by carefully removing them with a bearing or pulley puller. However, if the bearings are tightly pressed onto the shaft, removal may cause damage. To minimize this risk, we recommend replacing old bearings with our greased and sealed bearings, designed for long-lasting performance. For a smooth upgrade, we suggest adding the bearings to your shopping cart before completing your purchase.
We provide premium bearings from NSK, SKF, NTN, FAG, Timken. They are renowned for their high quality and performance, designed to provide durability and reliability in various applications
If you add the bearings to your order, we will preinstall them for you when premounting is possible, saving you the hassle of doing it yourself.
Do I need to to Add a Few Boxes of Carbide Inserts
We provide 5 carbide inserts and 5 screws as spare parts. However, many of our customers choose to purchase additional boxes, as the shipping costs for separate purchases can make it less economical.
Do I need a Torque Wrench?
To securely lock the carbide inserts, we recommend applying a torque of 48 to 52 Pound-Inches (or 5.42 to 5.88 Newton-Meters). (Note: 1 Newton-Meter is equal to 8.851 Pound-Inches, and 1 Pound-Inch is approximately 0.113 Newton-Meters.) It is crucial not to apply excessive torque, as this could cause the carbide inserts to crack or explode. On the other hand, using too little torque may result in the inserts not being properly secured, which could lead to cracks, shattering, or uneven height on the cutter block, causing ridges or lines on the board.
If one person is responsible for maintaining the machine, they can typically apply the same torque consistently without a torque wrench. However, when multiple people are involved in machine maintenance, ensuring uniform torque application can be challenging. For consistency and peace of mind, we recommend using a torque wrench.
What kind of steel the cutter block is made of?
The cutter block is constructed using GB/T 40Cr, a structural alloy steel of the same caliber as ASTM grade 5140, AISI 5140, SAE 5140, DIN 41Cr4, BS 41Cr4, JIS SCr440, and EN 41Cr4.The primary components of this steel are as follows: carbon (C) at a range of 0.37-0.44%, silicon (Si) between 0.17-0.37%, manganese (Mn) within 0.50-0.80%, and chromium (Cr) from 0.80-1.10%.
In terms of physical properties, this steel exhibits a tensile strength range of 115-234σb/MPa, a yield strength of 2σ 0.2 ≥/MPa, and an elongation capacity of 65 δ5≥ (%). It also has a HBS range of 123-321 and a HRC rating of 30.
This alloy steel is frequently utilized in low to moderately stressed components for machines, engines, and vehicles.
